We’re really excited to be introducing a new curriculum this year at Bexhill. The curriculum is being organised into ‘topics’ or ‘contexts’. Each topic will begin with an event or a visit to inspire the children, and will culminate in a similar event giving the children the opportunity to showcase their learning. Parents/carers are a crucial part of this – we really value your support at these events, and YOU make the end celebrations worth having. Your children like nothing more than being able to share their achievements with you. These may be in the form of an assembly, a performance, an exhibition of work… the opportunities are endless. Your child’s work from though out the term will also be on display (as will their homework – make sure they complete it on time, and to a high standard!). Thank you for your continuing support.
The Academy follows the new National Curriculum in Literacy and Maths – we’ll be sharing things from these with you throughout the year… some of the things in it are a bit tougher than they used to be! Our topics/contexts are being designed to include the best elements of other subjects. Enrichment and extra-curricular opportunities are linked in order to make learning purposeful and engaging, and, above all, to raise achievement.
The first of these topics (and an outline for the year) are linked via the relevant picture below. The remainder will follow throughout the year.
-
EYFS
-
Year 1 and 2

Year 3 and 4

[/vc_column][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”2/3″]Admissions
Bexhill Academy is a non-selective school for the local community. As such, the admissions policy reflects the locally co-ordinated admissions scheme. After admitting students with a statement of SEN, followed by ‘Looked After’ children, the admissions policy for the Academy prioritises brothers and sisters of children at the school and those living closest to the Academy. Our admissions policy is here.
Our admissions number (PAN) is 60; this means this year we will admit upto 60 pupils into our Reception classes. Our admission number has been 60 for three years, hence we have a capacity of 60 pupils per year group in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2. From Year 3 upwards our capacity is 45 pupils per year group.
Applying for a place at Bexhill is easy. Like most Sunderland schools, it is handled by the Admissions team at the Local Authority. All the details you need are here: http://www.sunderland.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=1816
